    Amateurish, annoying, and logic-free
    I feel strongly that whoever wrote this movie must be from another planet, because they've clearly never met a human before. NOTHING anyone does is what an actual human would do, ever. People shrug off and bizarre behavior with a chuckle, never asking questions as our protagonist runs around raising screaming red flags. Speaking of which, the protagonist is a selfish man-child with no regard for anything but immediate gratification, yet he has friends, , a hot wife and a happy, generous family who put up with him for no reason, and are completely unlike his Scrooge-y self. Eventually the film piles on a preachy message out of nowhere --subtlety is not what this film does best, or at all. AVOID at all costs.
